Network Simulator Overview

Description If you are using RakNet locally, chances are you will not have real-world problems like packet loss and ping fluctuations. RakNet provides some functions to simulate those problems.

Network Simulator Functions

ApplyNetworkSimulator( double maxSendBPS, unsigned short minExtraPing, unsigned short extraPingVariance) Enables simulated ping and packet loss to the outgoing data flow. To simulate bi-directional ping and packet loss, you should call this on both the sender and the recipient, with half the total ping and maxSendBPS value on each. maxSendBPS - Maximum bits per second to send. Packetloss grows linearly. 0 to disable. minExtraPing - The minimum time to delay sends. extraPingVariance The additional random time to delay sends. bool IsNetworkSimulatorActive( void ) Returns if you previously called ApplyNetworkSimulator For a better solution, see http://www.jenkinssoftware.com/raknet/forum/index.php?topic=1671.0
